oil capacity is in the service book iirc

and as for what oil, go to vw, they are usually pretty cheep for oil and they will know what oil is best.

15/40 semi synth oil will be fine and I would say your looking at about 4.5ltrs.

fill it with 3 then check after that, even tho engine will hold 4.5 you will never be able to drain all the 4.5 litres that its holding.
